Mastery of Self for Wealth Power Success eBook

We may summarize all these suggestions in the words
of a distinguished scientific writer:

“Life is not a bully who swaggers out into the
open universe, upsetting the laws of energy in all
directions, but rather a consummate strategist, who,
sitting in his secret chamber over his wires, directs
the movements of a great army.” This is
a good description of magnetism.

III. THE SUCCESS-MAGNETISM ASSUMPTION:

We are now ready for the great assumption-principle
of magnetism in applied life:

So closes this book. The subject before us has
been vast and profound. It is unnecessary to
confess that the field has by no means been exhausted.
At every step of study its immensity is discovered.
Even when the general arena of success in life has
been closed out of consideration, as in these pages,
Success-Magnetism defies any single mind to fathom
it or to bound it.

With this feeling, yet with the confident belief that
you are more completely furnished for magnetic achievement
because you have read, studied, absorbed and practised
the teachings now closed, the author bids you all
good-speed in life and signs himself,

Yours for real success,

A brothercooperative.

PART 22

CULTURE OF COURAGE

The route by which we approach the pinnacle of masteryofself now takes a new turn. It is
neither that of Business and Financial achievement,
as we studied in the First Division of the course,
nor is it that of Success and Magnetism as was taught
in the Second Division. For many students we
now come to the real battle-ground where they must
wage the fight for supremacy. The final 14 lessons
group under the general title, The cultureofcourage.

There is an insidious foe to mastery and freedom,
which dooms millions to self-imposed bondage.
Most people know it has them in its grip; countless
others do not know what the hidden power is which
holds them from the richer, freer, happier conditions
of life.

This foe is fear. It assumes numerous disguises.
It appears in many phases of our daily lives.
It has done more to wreck careers and ruin happiness
than all the wars of history. Hordes of earth
toilers believe themselves beyond its influence—­while
all the time it is riding their backs and laughing
at them.

One reason for this is the common misunderstanding
of what fear really is. Most people think of
it only as fearing to meet certain people, or fearing
some accident may happen to them or their loved ones.
Yet there are fears of the future, fears of one’s
self, fears of events, fears of natural phenomena,
fears of old age, fears of poverty. And there
are still more hidden, stunting fears developed by
the un-religious teachings of blind, bigoted, crafty
Religion.
